@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itIt's been a whole since I publicly hated on the NYT, but the news today about David Brooks is a good reminder that The New York times is a garbage newspaper that the world would be better off without.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialA family member of mine made a joke about trans people and I shut it down so fast I think they are still reeling a day later.
I got extremely serious, and loud, and told them it was bullshit, and I don't want to hear that sort of garbage again.
They tried to defend it with "Oh, it's just us, we're cool" and I called bullshit on that too.
We talked about it later and I think I got my point across. I ended with "We know you're a good person, so …

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialMy eyes are suggesting that El Cheato may not have long before either a stroke or other disabling failure.
Should such an event occur, I do not wish for his death. Rather I would prefer that he and JD get into a 25th Amendment match that results in the effective immobilization of the R-party.
But should Cheato die in office, I am wondering what would be an appropriate way to honor his passage into the underworld.

@jerome@jasette.facil.servicesAI generated videos are fun
Me and my wife got featured in a youtube video of "top richest person in the world", apparently we are billionnaire, the video has our public photos and names.
30,000 views of this garbage.
And a family member spotted it and got forwarded to us, so clearly it's getting distributed somehow.
@kexpmusicbot@mastodonapp.uk @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioLet's dissect this AI garbage
1. The camera is a "Hitachi MP-EG10", not the "Hitachi MP-Eg1"
2. It's actually not a driver for the camera but for the Hitachi MP-ADI1 ISA interface kit (the camera is from 1997 and predates USB and didn't have an easy way to directly transfer data)
3. It's in a little plastic baggy, not "sealed"
4. It's neither valuable nor for "anyone"
5. It doesn't enhance any experiences
@inthehands@hachyderm.ioWhat irks me about this is that Grok •is• quite obviously designed and built to exhibit bias; only fools and trolls would claim otherwise.
It’s just…what this article reports isn’t evidence of anything. An LLM can’t “admit” anything. This is nonsense reporting. It’s clickbait. It’s garbage.

@aredridel@kolektiva.socialUgh why is this always the way. I evaluated like 25 authentication servers for a small scale web project — I do want to support things like OIDC and Passkeys, so this is not something I really want to make myself like the old days of “use crypt() on the passwords and just make a simple database”.
5 of them are just dev mode garbage that will never see the light of day as a thing people use.
2 of them are home network nonsense for people who want enterprise login for their family, but where One Nerd controls the whole user-list.
15 of them are freemium "open source" where they withhold features for their enterprise tier and make them so unfortunately difficult to deploy, all requiring postgresql databases and a complex containerization setup and helm charts and oh so much.
and then there's kanidm, which is great except its opinions make it completely unusable for a community project, it's really more trying to fit the ‘enterprise unix authentication' space. Kudos to them for communicating it but it's the wrong tool, even if it is really good.
And then there's rauthy. Which is exactly what I want, well built and delightful, uses a lightweight embedded database, and even has a peer-to-peer sync for scalability. But customizing it is going to be a lesson in building it from source repeatedly, and its configuration is just a bit strange, and its frontend is extremely Backend Developer Wrote A Web UI. I guess I got a second project. And maybe a third to make debian packages of it.
Yet it really is the best of the options _by far_.
NLNet supported projects continue to punch above their weight class.

@hex@kolektiva.social#DearLazyWeb: Hey #Nederlanders ik heb en expat vrag over mijn #VvE. Our management company is absolute garbage. Our VVE management company recently scheduled repainting, during winter, with the most incompetent company possible, who did a horrible job, some of which didn't need to be done. Our windows had just been repainted since they were painted before we moved in, so 1/3 of the work they did was unnecessary, and now they look much worse than they did before. I could go on, but generally lots and lots of complaints along with absolutely terrible service.
Our upstairs neighbor (also an owner) also hates them and wants to switch, but a rental company owns the top half of the building and seems to be trying to force us in to staying. Basically, this management company is super cheap and the rental company are absolutely trash absentee leaches. (They *may* also have not been paying their part of the VvE fees for a while, but I'm not totally sure I understood everything.)
Unfortunately, I am way out of my depth and can't seem to get much help from google. Can anyone give me some advice about what to read or who to talk to, or are we actually stuck?
